Description

Preparation method of AC foaming agent
Technical Field

Background
The AC (azodicarbonamide) foaming agent can be decomposed to generate a large amount of gas in a very narrow temperature range and a very short time, and the generated gas and residues are non-toxic, odorless, pollution-free, non-coloring, non-corrosive to processing equipment, free from influencing the mechanical property and stability of products, good in dispersibility in plastics and rubber, and fine and uniform in formed cells, and is the organic foaming agent with the widest application range in the world.
An important index for measuring the quality of the AC foaming agent product is the particle size and the distribution state of the product, the existing product has the phenomenon of wide and irregular particle size distribution, and the too wide particle size distribution of the AC foaming agent causes a lot of difficulties for the foaming process. The small-particle-size AC foaming agent has large specific surface area, strong activity and short decomposition process, and is likely to foam in advance, so that the defective products and the rejection rate of the foamed products are high. The large-particle-size AC foaming agent has small specific surface area, weak activity and long decomposition process, and tends to delay foaming or even not foam, so that the surface of a foamed product is yellowed, and the color and the quality of the foamed product are seriously influenced. Therefore, it is highly desirable for blowing agent manufacturers to have the particle size distribution of the blowing agent as narrow as possible, i.e., to have the particle size distribution of the blowing agent as uniform as possible.
Most of products sold in China and export are foaming agent AC raw powder, the variety is single, the characteristics of rough product particle surface, wide particle size distribution range and the like exist, the product addition is low, the selling price is lower than that of foreign countries, and the market demand cannot be met. Therefore, the research and development of a new process technology to change the backward appearance of the single variety of the foaming agent AC in China so as to increase the variety of colors and meet the market demands of various users, improve the product quality, and improve the added value and the market competitiveness of the product are necessary and urgent.

Under the action of the driving device 7 and the clutch device 6, the gas disperser 9 rotates in the reaction kettle 8, which helps the gas to be dispersed in the mixed liquid more uniformly. The rotation can be clockwise and anticlockwise reciprocating motion, and the fluid motion can further break up bubbles, so that the chlorine gas is more uniformly dispersed.
The air inlet pipe 91 is provided with an impeller 10, and the impeller 10 is sleeved on the air inlet pipe 91 in an empty mode and can rotate axially. The impeller 10 can rotate at the same speed or at different speeds with the gas disperser 9 under the action of the clutch, and can also rotate at a low speed under the drive of fluid, and the rotation of the impeller 8 is favorable for dropwise adding hydrogen peroxide above the liquid level to diffuse in the liquid more quickly, and is favorable for complete reaction of biurea particles and hydrogen peroxide.
Furthermore, a flow guide pipe 14 is arranged on the side wall of the reaction kettle 8, and a motor is arranged to enable a part of liquid of the reaction kettle 8 to be pumped out from the bottom of the reaction kettle 8 and then enter the upper part of the reaction kettle 8, so that the material is further dispersed, the liquid in the reaction kettle 8 is good in distribution uniformity, the uniform particle size of the product is favorably controlled, and the particle size distribution range is narrowed.
The height H of said side wall 93 is not lower than 1/4 of the internal diameter D of the inlet pipe 91 in order to prevent a reduction in the flow area outside the inlet pipe 91, causing "pressure build-up". The cover plate 94 and the side wall 93 form an obtuse angle, so that the gas smoothly flows upwards after being blocked by the bottom plate 92 and the side wall 93, and the gas is uniformly sprayed out from the vent holes in the cover plate 94. The cover plate 94 has a circular area with uniformly formed vent holes that are circular. The total aeration area is 20-120% larger than the cross-sectional area of the gas inlet pipe 91, so as to properly reduce the flow rate of the fed chlorine gas, facilitate the uniform dispersion of the gas and also facilitate the reduction of the total pressure drop of the gas disperser 9. In order to properly reduce the flow rate of the gas, the uniform dispersion of the gas is facilitated, and the overall pressure drop of the distributor is also facilitated to be reduced. The vent hole is circular; the total area of the vent holes in the cover plate 94 is 1.1-2.5 times of the radial cross sectional area in the air inlet pipe 91. In order to fix the gas distributor 9, a reinforcing rib is further included, one end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the cover plate 94, and the other end of the reinforcing rib is fixed to the outer wall of the gas inlet pipe 91.
The collapse of large bubbles of gas in the liquid can result in vibration of the liquid and thus the entire container. When the gas flow rate is sufficiently high, the liquid turbulence is very severe and significant vibration of the vessel can occur. The reaction vessel 8 effectively eliminates vibration around the gas disperser 9. After passing through the gas disperser 9, the gas is sprayed out from the top of the distribution cover plate in a uniform thin flow, and then is dispersed into the liquid in the form of a plurality of small bubbles, namely the particle size of the bubbles can be well controlled. Since frequent generation and collapse of large bubbles does not occur, no significant vibration of the gas disperser 9 and the surrounding liquid occurs.
